The cloakroom has unexpected colour and pattern with the use of a William Morris wallpaper and ochre paintwork. These complement the traditional brass hardware.

A powder room should deliver the "wow" factor and this room certainly does. Elegant, welcoming and with unique styling, it's the perfect statement for adding drama to a small space.

This image captures the charming corner of the chic guest cloakroom, featuring exquisite design elements that elevate the space to a new level of luxury. The brushed brass tap stands as a striking centerpiece, adding a touch of opulence and sophistication to the room. The bronze mirror splashback reflects light and creates a sense of depth, while also serving as a stunning visual focal point. Its rich, warm tones complement the surrounding decor, adding a sense of warmth and elegance to the space. The luxury wallpaper adorned with a cloud motif adds a whimsical touch to the room, infusing it with personality and charm. The soft, muted colors of the wallpaper create a tranquil atmosphere, inviting guests to relax and unwind in style.

Nestled within Sydney’s historic Millers Point, this 1860s Victorian terrace has been reimagined as a serene family sanctuary—where patina-rich surfaces meet contemporary elegance. The curated interiors tell a story of history-infused maximalism, where every layer reveals a detail in service of heritage, emotion, and craft. Lorena Gaxiola’s poetic vision was to celebrate the family’s tri-cultural identity through salvaged timbers, artisanal finishes, and restrained yet expressive craftsmanship. From reinstated cornices to hand-finished brass accents and kauri floorboards, each intervention evokes a dialogue between past and present. Realising that vision required deft navigation of significant constraints: extensive structural damage from decades of water ingress and termites, heritage restrictions that demanded visual continuity, and tight access that challenged the logistics of modern construction. As designers, we oversaw every detail—from heritage review and documentation to construction coordination and bespoke installations. Threading new electrical, climate, and plumbing systems through fragile timber bones took surgical precision. Yet the results were seamless: original chandeliers revived, floorboards restored or matched with reclaimed timber, and American oak joinery paired with brass trims and marble mosaics brought new life to tired volumes. Design decisions were driven by sustainability, narrative, and craftsmanship. Custom pieces were commissioned from masters in their field—such as Lowe Furniture’s bespoke creations and a custom mural by Indigenous artist Danie Mellor, which pays homage to the family’s cultural roots. Each space was approached with emotion and intentionality, particularly the bathrooms which the client described simply and joyfully as: “The bathrooms make me happy.” Every room in the home unfolds like a story—patterned tiles, textured stone, and layered materials come together to offer intimate moments of discovery. Our commitment extended from spatial planning to final flourishes. We handled styling, soft furnishing installation, custom window treatments, and every curated object. Furniture was sourced locally, materials were salvaged when possible, and thoughtful detailing elevated every corner. The result is a timeless, emotionally resonant home—one that celebrates craftsmanship, elevates functionality, and preserves a precious piece of Sydney’s architectural legacy for generations to come.

Bathrooms by Oldham were engaged by Judith & Frank to redesign their main bathroom and their downstairs powder room. We provided the upstairs bathroom with a new layout creating flow and functionality with a walk in shower. Custom joinery added the much needed storage and an in-wall cistern created more space. In the powder room downstairs we offset a wall hung basin and in-wall cistern to create space in the compact room along with a custom cupboard above to create additional storage. Strip lighting on a sensor brings a soft ambience whilst being practical.

The black and white guest bathroom features a wall-hung mirror with ornate framing, complementing the black table below. The intricate black detailing is echoed in the luxurious chandelier while the white basin balances the use of black in the space. Photography by Daniel Swallow.
